This weekend is a great time to get some projects done around the house. Going green isn’t that hard if you take the time to think about little projects that save energy or help protect the environment.
This weekend we planted our vegetable garden which is an excellent green home improvement project. Seriously, think about it, if you’re buying fewer vegetables at the store that were grown hundreds of miles from your home then you’re helping cut pollution.
This summer we decided to only mow the lawn once every two weeks instead of weekly. So far it’s working great, the lawn looks healthier and we’re using half as much gas!! This method will most likely result in needing less fertilizer as well.
Each of these small projects means you’ll be saving money. If you want another way to save some money then check out the Lowes Coupon article over at HCI. It’s a great way to save 10% off at Lowes for certain people.
Nice tip! I’ve been trying to cut down my habit of regular mowing and it really saves some money.
